Weekly Roundup for Clear Admit’s MBA Podcast
In this week’s MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing Round 2 activity on LiveWire; interview invites continue to roll out for Round 2 candidates; UPenn / Wharton and MIT / Sloan have yet to release their Round 2 interview invites.
Alex discussed the release of a “Prompt Guide” for Clear Admit’s new Ask Clear Admit admissions bot. This guide is designed to help candidates get the most out of their engagement with the chat bot. So far, we have seen more than 1,000 prompts.
Graham then highlighted the upcoming webinar series for Master’s in Management candidates; the first of these webinars features Michigan / Ross, CMU / Tepper and Georgetown / McDonough. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/mim0225
Graham noted the continuation of Clear Admit’s series of articles about podcasts, where we place the spotlight on podcasts from the leading MBA programs. Graham then mentioned the publication of an admissions tip focused on post interview activities. This led to a plea for MBA interview reports, in order to support Clear Admit’s comprehensive MBA interview archive.
Graham then highlighted two real numbers stories, focused on female enrollment (very well done, Johns Hopkins / Carey!) and tuition costs for European-based MBA programs.
Finally, we discussed one more MBA career report from London Business School. Their career statistics generally follow similar patterns we have identified with prior career reports that we have published this season, although they were able to gather data from an impressive 100% of the graduating class.
For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry.
Three MBA Admissions Candidates Reviewed.
This week’s first MBA admissions candidate is from Brazil and is looking ahead for the MBA applications. They have still to take the GMAT, and they are seeking other areas they can strengthen before they apply.
This week’s second MBA candidate has a 334 GRE and strong legal experience from London. They also appear to have interesting activities outside of work and could be a very strong candidate.
The final MBA candidate is deciding between Chicago / Booth and Northwestern / Kellogg, with very similar scholarship offers.
